I saw the pattern and had to make it! It's great, it only took 2 days. I made it with a bulkier yarn and a larger hook (Lion Brand Homespun and size Q, instead of Bernat Solo and size K) so it came out big enough to fit on my large head without squooshing my hair down.

That looks great! I was waiting for another reason to go out and buy that magazine, and this is it. You know what's really strange, you look so much like one of my friends, but she has blond hair. Maybe I should make her a hat like that.
